# SwiftFiles

Save, Load and Delete files from within a Swift playground

# Usage

List file NSURLs in a given location

```

 do {

    if let files = try FileList.allFilesAndFolders(inDirectory: NSSearchPathDirectory.CachesDirectory, subdirectory: "Data") {

    for file in files {

        print("Filename:\(file.lastPathComponent!) NSURL:\(file)")

        }

    }

    else {

        print("failed to find given location")

    }

  }

catch  {

    print("error occurred")

}

```

Save a string to a file

```

FileSave.saveStringToTemporaryDirectory("hello World", path: "myString.txt", subdirectory: "")

```

Save, load and delete

```

FileSave.saveString("hello world", directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, path: "myString.txt", subdirectory: "MyFiles")

FileLoad.loadString("myString.txt", directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, subdirectory: "MyFiles", encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)

FileDelete.deleteFile("myString.txt", directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, subdirectory: "MyFiles")

FileLoad.loadString("myString.txt", directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, subdirectory: "MyFiles", encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) // returns nil file is deleted

```

Save and load data

```

let data = "Hello Swift".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!

FileSave.saveData(data, directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.CachesDirectory, path: "myFile.txt", subdirectory: "Data")

FileLoad.loadData("myFile.txt", directory: NSSearchPathDirectory.CachesDirectory, subdirectory: "Data") == data // true

```

Find file locations on your system

```

// find out the location of your files to use in Finder -> Go -> Go to Directory dialogue box

FileDirectory.applicationDirectory(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory)

FileDirectory.applicationTemporaryDirectory()

```

Note that the majority of the methods are throwing methods and so require do/try/catch. See the playground for examples.
